Cohort 7

Embracing
Your Backstory

Cohort NO.7

Story Work

Journey through your past, present, and future in a safe, guided space where you uncover your story, embrace healing, and co-create your life with God.

Your story matters—and God is still writing it. This transformational journey invites you to explore your past, embrace your present, and co-create your future with Him. Through guided reflection, group connection, and one-on-one coaching, you’ll discover how every part of your story—both the pain and the beauty—can become a place of encounter with God’s healing love.

What Happened - Map your life journey, share in a safe circle, and engage your past with compassion and prayer.

What is Happening – Identify how fear and past experiences have shaped you, and actively replace lies with truth to cultivate self-compassion in the present.

What Will Happen — Discern your calling, dream with God, share your story in community, and establish spiritual rhythms for ongoing growth.
